Hey Everyone! I'm apologizing in advance for the shortness of this chapter! I had a long weekend and I am so tired, but I really wanted to get this next chapter up! Look for chapters 4 and 5 to be posted up together early this week:) Thanks to all the people who are taking the time to read my story, and thanks to all who have reviewed. This is my first fiction, so it means a lot:)
Later that day after everyone's classes were over, Brooke set out to find Peyton. I wonder why she didn't go to the rest of our classes. I wonder if she's ok! As Brooke continued to walk outside the school, she noticed Lucas waiting by her car. Oh shit. What does he want?
"Lucas. What do you want?" Brooke asked a little harsher than she intended. Oops. That was smooth Davis, real smooth.
"Hey Brooke." Lucas said as he smiled at her. Yep. She's nervous. I wonder if Peyton told her something "Can we go somewhere? There was something I needed to talk to you about."
"Umm...sure."
"You just want to ride with me and we can go grab something to eat?"
"Yeah. That would be cool."
Lucas opened the passenger door to his truck for Brooke, and made sure to shut it for her once she got in. Brooke just closed her eyes and laid her head on the seat, not knowing what to think of anything anymore. Well this is just gonna lead to no good. I can feel it already. As Lucas started the truck, all Brooke could do was erase any bad thoughts or doubts, and just go with it.
Once they had reached the restaurant and ordered their food, Lucas brought up what was on his mind so much these days.
Ok, all or nothing. Just talk. "Brooke, I am so sorry for what I did to you. I know that it is in the past, and I know, at least I think I know, that we have moved on from that whole situation, but I cant help the way I feel. I still want to be with you. Every time I look at you I cant help think of how stupid I was to let you go. And like I said, I am so sorry."
After a few moments of Brooke staring at Lucas with a stumped expression, Lucas spoke again. "Yeah, that was a bad idea. I figured that I just had to tell you. Umm… do you want me to take you back to your car now?"
"What? Huh? Oh, no. God Lucas! I'm sorry!" Brooke laughed as she collected her thoughts. "I was just thinking back to the first time we really talked. I was kind of half naked in the back of your car I think?"
Lucas heaved a sigh of relief. "Yeah, how could I forget?"
"I never really got over you Luke. I still have feelings for you too" I think. At this point I'm not sure what to think!
"Do you want to get outta here?"
"Yes. I would actually." Now why did I just say that I would do that?
If only they could know what was going through each others minds at the moment…
I cant believe she feels the same way. This cant be right. Not after what I did to her. Brooke Davis does not just completely forgive and forget like this. What is going on here? I want her to know how much I care for her, and I totally jumped the gun by asking her if she wanted to get out of here. I thought she would react horribly, when in fact she is totally going along with it. Maybe she does like me still. God she's gorgeous.
"So you want to go to my house?" Now why did I just say THAT? What is the DEAL with my lately? Who knows, maybe this will help sort how I feel about things.
"Ok."
And with that, Brooke and Lucas made their way to Brooke's yet again empty house.
Lucas and Brooke just laid in bed, both captive to their own thoughts.
"So umm… does this mean we're dating again? Brooke? BROOKE!"
"What?" Brooke said coming out of her daze. "I'm sorry, what did you just say? I was kind of spaced out."
"I asked if this meant we were dating again."
Dating. Such a loose term. What does it mean anyways? Setting yourself up for hurt? No, I cant do that. I want love. I don't know why, but it feels as though nothing else will satisfy me. And why does a certain someone's face pop up every time I think of love or anything close to it?
Brooke leaned in to kiss Lucas, and only one person came to mind. Peyton. Oh God! This is so fucked up!
"Lucas, you have to go. I'm sorry, I thought that I still had feelings towards you, but I don't. I am so sorry. You didn't deserve this." She said as she sat up and wrapped the blankets tight around her body. "I really think that it is time for you to go"
"Brooke! What are you talking about?"
Brooke leaned over the bed and grabbed Lucas' clothes. She then threw them at him "You need to go Luke. Now."
"God Brooke. I… God. I don't even know what to say!" Lucas shouted as he got up from the bed and hurriedly put his clothed on. "I cant believe that I though there was another chance for us."
"Me either Lucas. Me either."
And with that Lucas was gone. And as Brooke lay back down, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
